Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

In a Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Introduce the shallots, garlic, and red pepper; sauté until the shallots soften and become translucent, approximately 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the chipotle powder and cumin; cook for 30 seconds until the aromas bloom.

02

Step
30 mins

Incorporate the roast beef and red potatoes, then pour in the water and beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the oregano, and season with salt and pepper to your preference.

03

Step
0 mins

Before serving, stir in the chopped parsley. Garnish each bowl with a few slices of hard-cooked egg for a touch of elegance.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth.
Adjust the amount of chipotle chile powder to suit your desired level of spiciness.
If you don't have roast beef, cooked steak or even shredded chicken can be substituted.
A dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime adds a bright, fresh finish.
